Having two key cogs from last year regress like that has hurt a lot. We'd have really been up a creek if we didn't get Wood. And if it's true that Wood would be willing to take the 4/77 instead of waiting to hit the open market for a chance at more that is very concerning that we haven't offered him that very reasonable extension yet.
DFS and Bullock aren't missing. They are part of what is off with the team. Some of that is natural with the Din's role being elevated and Wood being inserted into the offense. Touches are going to be distributed differently. Everyone learning to play in a post-JB world is going to take time. If you want to be optimistic, you can say that learning curve has widened with all the injuries. I'm just not optimistic and I see a bad team being kept afloat with a generational talent.
